Holiday Cheer
Rudolph's on. That radio-whine noise of his nose woke me up from his nap. Turns out Tiff's a fan. A BIG fan. Now, before I get a massive list of comment's about what a Scrooge I am, let me assure you that I have no problem with the classic Rudolph movie. I just happen to be somewhat grouchy after Monday's all nighter and yesterday's lack of sleep. I'll probably be fit for human contact again by tomorrow.
So, yeah, Rudolph's on. The digital remastery looks good. There's texture now, and the sound is 100% better (that whine in stereo is scary). Way to go CBS. Or whoever did it.
Murray State's Hanging of the Green is a week from tomorrow. 1 week. There's 10 fake trees in the back of my shiny new red truck (THANK YOU GRANDDAD!!) just waiting for the event to roll around so we can put them up. There's a list of 30 groups that are gonna be hosting booths or sending decorations or both. The community is actually participating in a MSU event, which is always a plus. Even if no one comes, at least there'll be 100 or so people to keep eachother entertained.
So, what is Hanging of the Green? It's your typical Holiday festival. The student center on campus is covered in garland and greenery and wreaths and whatever else conveys particular winter festivities (we have Kwanzaa - can't spell it - and Hanukkah stuff blending right in... or something like that). I think it all went up the day after Thanksgiving. Anyway, Hanging of the Green is when the switch is thrown on the big 12 foot tree. The president typically does it, but since ESPN's going to be at our basketball game that night, and we couldn't reschedule, he'll be there.
So we're having our much-loved, soon-to-retire food services director do it instead. He's getting spoiled anyway.
This'll be the first time in quite-a-few years that the whole Christmas Market is brought back. I'm praying it goes well, because that'll mean a tradition reestablished. More importantly, it'll mean RCA established it. And RCA needs all the good name it can get.
That's life right now. Lots and lots of Christmas.
I love it.
Happy Holidays everyone. ¶ 2 comments

We had "Hanging of the Greens" at our church this past Sunday night. I never knew you were a scrooge. You always seemed to enjoy our Christmas festivities. So glas to hear that y'all call your tree a CHRISTMAS tree!
Hope to see you when we are down the week after Christmas.
Love you!

I am not a scrooge. At least, not completely. Finals (and all the stuff due before them) just make me very scrooge-like.
And the JA Christmas parties were the best :).
